VTRAK M-CLASS Product Manual

Chapter 9: Support

How can I be sure everything is working OK on the VTrak?
Locally: The VTrak enclosure has LEDs on the front to monitor the status of
power, field replaceable units (FRUs) and logical drives. When these are
green, VTrak is functioning normally.
Remotely: Check the Tree Icons in WebPAM. If there are no yellow or red
warning icons displayed, VTrak is functioning normally.
What happens if a logical drive goes critical?
On the front of VTrak, the logical drive LED turns amber and an audible
alarm sounds. See “Critical & Offline Disk Arrays” on page 286.
Can VTrak run using just one power supply?
Yes, it is possible to run VTrak on a single power supply. There are two
power supplies so that VTrak will continue running if one of the power supply
fails. But deliberately leaving one power supply off negates this advantage.
In addition, leaving one power supply off reduces air flow through the VTrak
enclosure and can contribute to overheating. Always switch on both power
supplies.
